On September 3, 2019, Maya Manolova resigned as national ombudswoman to Bulgaria to run for mayor of Sofia.[5] Manolova founded Stand Up.BG on December 6 of that year. On May 23, 2020, Stand Up.BG organized a protest in front of the Council of Ministers which demanded the resignation of the government.[6] At the protest, Manolova announced that she would run in the 2021 parliamentary election.[7]
The organization participated in the country's anti-government protests. On August 31, 2020, Stand Up.BG announced that it would not become a political party; it would participate in elections as a partner network encompassing dozens of initiative committees from throughout the country. At the end of the year, an agreement on joint participation in the elections was signed with the Poisonous Trio (Otrovnoto trio).[8] The leaders of Stand Up.BG and the Poisonous Trio announced on February 7, 2021 that they would not negotiate with GERB and DPS, and would run instead as a coalition entitled Stand Up! Mafia, Get Out!.[8]
In the snap April 2021 Bulgarian parliamentary election, the Stand Up! Mafia, Get Out! coalition finished in sixth place with 4.72 percent of the popular vote and 14 seats in the country's 45th National Assembly.
